Thanks Steffen

I will check simpleXML I do have two servers one with PHP4 and one with 
PHP5 I bounce this upgrade to both servers hoping I can get it working. 
I have not been asked to work on this installations of Typo3 for 4 years 
Kasper started something special. I did try the big jump to version 4 
but just got the white screen in both BE & FE. So I'm taking the version 
by version approach

Cheers
